Our Dedicated Staff

Woodbine Ecology Center would be nothing but a dream if it were not for the committed people who have been working hard over the last several years to make this dream into a reality. While each of us has a specific set of responsibilities, we all bring and give much more to this project than our job titles and task lists imply. Woodbine is all of us–staff, board, community working groups, and core volunteers–working toward a shared vision. Together we make Woodbine what it is, a community-oriented, mission-driven project, building a better future for ourselves, our children, and seven generations to come.
